Hi, I’m Liam,

Best Selling Author & public speaking coach

For years I was a world class consumer of personal development books, TED Talks, and podcasts. In 2020 I decided to take action and start creating content. It all started with a personal development blog - you can find the blog via the articles page.

I once had a fear of public speaking. The sweaty palms, racing heart and shaky voice was a feeling I wanted to leave behind. Helping others overcome this fear, the same way I had created the transition from personal development content to public speaking content.

In the early parts of my career I was labeled ‘a man of few words’. What initially came across as something negative turned out to be a great strength. I was very selective with my words. If it did not add value, I simply would not say it.

I am on of the biggest introverts you could meet and I am often the quietest person in the room. This came with the assumption I couldn’t do public speaking. But it was a skill I had practiced, fine-tuned ad figured out to deliver a clear message that everyone could easily follow, every time.

During the covid-19 pandemic I became very active on Twitter, engaging with entrepreneurs and creators. This is where I started the Public Speaking Twitter Space with Derek Moore. Spaces is a social audio forum, and we talked about public speaking, giving advice to others to become more comfortable and confident at speaking in public. Every week for a year we had over 100 participants attend who asked questions, shared their experiences, took on some coaching, and went away and tried the techniques and tasks we provided. Each week participants came back to share what they tried and the results they achieved. We were helping people improve every week.

The Public Speaking Space is where the book Effortless Public Speaking was born. After a participant asked if we had something they could buy, we used the space to gather the burning questions people had, and test the actionable items we provided. The best of this research formed the book. Effortless Public Speaking was written using the experiences of real life people, with techniques that help people go from afraid to confident in the easiest way.

Effortless Public Speaking became an Amazon #1 Best Seller in the Public Speaking and Speech Writing Category. The book has led to me coaching TEDx speakers, CEOs, and Keynote speakers to improve their ability to speak in public, connect with their audience, and scale their impact through presentations.
